Before you start
The accompanying shoulder harness is suitable for people of
standard adult physique, who are 150 cm - 195 cm in height
and 60 cm - 140 cm in waist size.
Use a shoulder harness when provided or when recommend-
ed in this manual. Adjust both harness and the suspension
point (A) on the unit so the unit hangs with the cutting attach-
ment a few centimetres above ground level (B).
The cutting attachment and shield should be level in all direc-
tions. Harness the unit on the right side as shown.
Slide suspension point up and down the tube to find the right
balance. Rotate the clamp to level the cutting attachment and
shield. Lock in position. If the suspension point is a free-spin-
ning type, the unit may tend to roll over sideways, however,
you should still level the attachment and shield on the front-to-
rear axis.
Balancing and levelling, as above, may require relocation of
the clamp and readjustment of the harness straps. Also, each
type of cutting attachment and shield mounted on the unit may
require balancing.

DANGER
Do not fuel up while the engine is hot or in operation.
Do not smoke or hold a flame near when refuelling.
If you do so, the fuel could ignite and cause fire, leading to burns.
WARNING
Do not fill fuel tanks indoors. Always fill fuel tanks outdoors over bare ground. Do not refuel the product on the load-
ing platform of a truck, or in other such places.
Fuel tanks/cans may be under pressure. Always loosen fuel caps slowly allowing pressure to equalize.
Otherwise, fuel may get spewed.
Mop up any fuel that overflows or spills out due to overfilling.
Fuel spills can cause fire and burns when ignited.
After refuelling, always check that there are no leaks or discharges of fuel from the fuel pipe, fuel system grommets,
or around the fuel tank cap. If you do find fuel leaks or discharges, stop using the product immediately and contact
your dealer to have it repaired.
Any fuel leaks could cause fire.
Keep the refuelling tank in a shaded area away from fire.
Use an approved fuel container.

unleaded petrol is recommended. Do not use fuel containing methyl alcohol or more than 10 % of ethyl alcohol.
